A simple recipe we found that is great for anyone learning how to cook or a quick treat. These are an easy version of buckeyes or peanut butter cups.

Peanut Butter Fudge, Easy
Aunt Debbie’s Buckeyes
Dad called Aunt Debbie on Christmas while at our house. It was so nice to “talk” to her for a few minutes. While talking, she mentioned that she was making some candy with a granddaughter. Aunt Debbie gave us her recipe to make the candy also.
Use gluten free Crispy Rice and be sure all your ingredients are gluten free if you want to make them just like Aunt Debbie does.
We have made buckeyes before, but we really like this version with the Crispy Rice. I think it may be our new favorite way to make these treats.
Cream Cheese Truffles with Variations
When we first started learning to make desserts, this is one of the first, and easiest truffles we learned. Have fun experimenting with your own variations!
Cow Chip Cookies
We discovered this recipe many years ago in a cookbook at Grandma Reble’s house. I do not know the name of the cookbook, but it has a bright pink cover and it is a collection of recipes from different people in CO. We try new recipes from this book every time we visit Grandma’s house.
These are larger cookies, so we usually make a half batch.
Peanut Butter Cookies
This is the first recipe that Megan learned to make on her own. She loves peanut butter, so she quickly memorized the recipe. This has turned into “her” specialty and she asks to make it often.
To make it different, Megan will sometimes add mini chocolate chips, or add melted chocolate to the top.
Home Made Butterfingers
I do not remember where we found this recipe, but it was one of the first candy recipes we learned how to make.
While the recipe is very easy to make, it is also easy to let the temperature get to high. Because of this, I changed our recipe to a slightly lower temperature so that the candy is pulled off the heat earlier and has less chance of being overcooked.
Use your favorite recipe for the dipping chocolate. While confectionery coating is okay, a good milk chocolate or dark chocolate makes the candy taste the best.
Two Bite Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
One of the first recipes that Andrea “invented” on her own. She wanted chocolate chip cookies and Audrey wanted peanut butter, so she experimented and came up with these.
